What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.”Matthew 13:24,25.

SINCE WE KNOW

Since we know that the Lord is a consuming fire,That His Word is like a hammer and a flame,Let us be broken and go through the fire of affliction.Let us not resist the purifying work of the Holy Spirit.All He wants us to do is to remove the idols of our hearts,To take His rightful place on His throne, our altar.

Since we know that He sent His prophet EzekielTo speak life into the dead, dry bones,Will He not be able to bring together,What He has scattered?

Since we know that He does not speak onlyTo individuals, but to His whole body,Is He not the one that brings us together,To worship Him in Spirit and Truth,And to serve Him gladly?

Since we know that He sees and hears our sorrow and affliction,And that He inhabits the Praises of His people,As we gather in His NameAnd allow His Spirit and His word to purify us,As with humble and grateful hearts we yield In praise and worship to His majesty,Will He not send His Word to refresh us,To bind our wounds,And restore to us the joy of His salvation?

Since we know that He came to set the prisoners free,And that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty,Will He not break the bondage that prevents usFrom experiencing the full benefit of His blessed presence?

Since we know that His grace and mercies abound,Will He not restore in us our first love for Him,And set our feet on a firm path?

Since we know that He bids us:“Come, Now is the time of my salvation”,Will we not respond in faith, trust and obedience,Entering into the water flowing from His throne,Not only ankle deep, nor knee deep;But plunging wholeheartedly in the pure refreshing streamAnd be made well and whole?

Since we know that only those who drink of the water of life,Will be able to share His life with others,Let us remember the woman at the well of Sichar.Are we thirsty? Then let us come and drink freely,The living water that costs nothing,And He will satisfy our thirst to overflowing.

Since this was written for christians believers, I am certain that most of you will recognize and be able to identify the corresponding scriptures verses throughout the poem.Jean-Louis.

A Christmas Reflection from the Light Seed

The Joshua Tree - An original parable/allegory by this blogger.

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God (Genesis 21:33). Here is old Abraham just planting a tree and living by his well. Why are we told this? It is symbolic of what is taking place in his heart and life. The tree immediately brings to mind Psalm 1, which says the man of God will be like a tree planted by rivers of living water, bringing forth its fruit in season. Here is a life that is fruitful, that is concerned about those immediately around and is pouring out blessing into their lives and hearts.

Testimony/Sermon of an Abortion Survivor

SUICIDE WATCH

I am sure most of you have known at some time in your life a person who wanted or attempted to end their life or succeeded in doing so. Personally, I have known a number of such people. I, myself had such an episode as an adolescent.

More and more I am reading and hearing about people young, old, male, female, gender and age don´t matter that add their lives to this problem of epidemic proportion in our society. Whatever the cause, we can all do something however small to save lives.

No need to have a psych. degree or to be licensed. An understanding heart, a listening ear is sometimes all that it takes to help weaker, more sensitive people overcome the hopelessness that drives fellow human beings to discard the gift of human life.

Please, take a few minutes to read below the few examples and testimonies about suicide. And please pass it on, if that´s all you feel inclined to do. Thank you.

HE INVITES SUICIDE JUMPERS FOR A CUP OF TEA

Don Ritchie moved to a house outside Sydney, Australia, for the clifftop view. But soon he was stopping suicides by inviting potential jumpers inside for a cup of tea.

Don Ritchie has been awarded a medal for bravery and an Order of Australia (the nation’s second highest honor) for averting hundreds of would-be suicides by approaching people and offering them a cup of tea. ‘I used to sell kitchen scales and bacon cutters,’ he says. Now, ‘I’m trying to sell people life.’
